8 Why a Strategic Plan? In an era of renewed scrutiny and accountability for higher education, these institutions must learn to adapt and focus their efforts, as well as enhance their agility or ability to respond to an ever increasing number of both internal and external forces and mandates. To this end, the effective development and implementation of strategic plans has gained greater importance. 8

9 What the research says It is possible that up to 90% of organizations fail to execute on their strategies (Kaplan & Norton, 2006). Though the actual figure may actually lie somewhere between 60% and 90%, the most important point here may be that the most significant inhibitor to business success might be in the execution or the lack thereof (Keyte, 2012). Further analysis suggests that while a huge effort is often put into the definition of strategic imperatives, hardly any effort is put into strategic execution and measurement. In other words, we all get excited about great ideas, but few of us want to actually get down to the business of implementation.
